<\/a>\nService providers recognize that high-capacity fiber is critical for staying competitive, yet legacy access architectures often create complexity, slow service delivery, and increase operating costs. With Calix One, providers can seamlessly introduce 50G-PON as part of a unified, converged passive optical network (PON)\u2014streamlining operations, expanding bandwidth across all markets, maximizing fiber investments, and reducing total cost of ownership. 50G-PON supports the delivery of secure, highly available, low-latency services for businesses, mobile backhaul, smart infrastructure, multi-tenant, and wholesale market deployments.<\/p>
\nThe momentum for 50G-PON on the Calix One platform continues to grow as providers evaluate the lasting impact of their network choices\u2014as demonstrated by successful trials in North America with ALLO Communications<\/a> and Brightspeed<\/a>.<\/p> \nCalix 50G-PON will enable incremental capacity growth and protect fiber investments by:<\/p> \nDavid Tomalin, group chief technology officer at CityFibre, said: <\/b>\u201cFor CityFibre, 50G-PON isn\u2019t about headline speeds\u2014it's about deepening the intelligence, capacity, and capability of the multi-service platform that underpins our own customers\u2019 long\u2011term success. With Calix as a trusted partner for over 10 years, we have already upgraded our nationwide full fiber network from GPON to XGS-PON\u2014bringing multi-gigabit speeds to nearly five million premises.
